Ready to transform your smile from tooth loss, decay, or damage? Cereus Dental Care offers the very best restorative dentistry near Tempe and beyond, because we offer high-tech solutions that are designed to last. If you need a dental filling or a dental implant, or any other restoration, you can trust our team to offer the gentle, effective care you deserve!
We provide the following restorative dentistry offerings at our dentist office in Tempe:
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used to repair damaged and broken teeth that are still otherwise healthy. The crown fits over the original tooth to provide protection and stability. Dr. Daniel J. Lyu, DDS FAGD might use a dental bridge to fill the gap created by a single missing tooth. The dental crown procedure can also be used for chipped tooth repair.
We fabricate dental crowns using the following durable, tooth-colored materials:
- All Porcelain
- All Ceramic
- Zirconia
- BruxZir®
- Metal Porcelain
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
Instead of the old style of unattractive metal fillings, Dr. Daniel J. Lyu, DDS FAGD color-matches his state-of-the-art dental filling material to blend perfectly with your teeth. No one will be able to tell that you have had a cavity or white fillings. Because we are an amalgam-free dental office, you can feel confident that you'll always be treated using the healthiest materials.
Dental Bonding
We use the powers of dental bonding to beautify and fortify parts of the tooth that are missing. We use only expertly shade-matched, tooth-colored materials (similar to white fillings) to cover chips or gaps in the teeth. For many, numbing or adjusting of the tooth isn’t needed.
Dental Bridges
The most common and least expensive way to replace a missing tooth is a dental bridge. As the name suggests, a dental bridge connects the teeth directly adjacent to the missing tooth with a fused “bridge” called a pontic, which is a false tooth. Cereus Dental Care offers traditional bridges, as well as those that are permanently fixed to the mouth using dental implants.
Dental Implants
Dr. Daniel J. Lyu, DDS FAGD's implant dentistry training and experience allow him to replace lost or missing teeth with state-of-the-art dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Each durable implant consists of a titanium post (“root”) permanently anchored to your jawbone. He then places a dental crown restoration just below the gum line, completing the dental implant placement and the natural look of your smile!
We offer the following dental implant systems:
- Single Dental Implants
- Implant-Retained Overdentures (similar to All-on-4®)
- Hybrid Dental Implants
- Overdentures
Removable Dentures
Whether you need all your teeth replaced or just a few, dentures and partial dentures offer cost-effective solutions for filling the gaps created by lost or missing missing teeth. Whether you are missing some of your teeth or all of your teeth, your dentures will always be custom-crafted to fit you best.

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns may be recommended for teeth with significant decay, fractures, large fillings, or teeth that need additional protection after certain procedures.
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite material to repair small imperfections such as chips, gaps, or uneven areas. It is a conservative treatment option that can enhance the appearance and strength of a tooth while preserving natural tooth structure.
